The one thing that the reboot still has in its favour is that currently everything seems to be getting a reboot, everything from Quantum Leap to Sex and the City, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Magnum, Battlestar Galactica, on and on. Utilising established IP seems to be the 'in' thing at the moment...

Sounds like it might be dependent upon the current President of The CW remaining in his job after the sale? Here's hoping.

I assume overseas broadcasters/streaming services will be able to bid to air it. In the UK I think some of The CW's superhero shows are on Sky, and I think Netflix has shown some of them too. In the UK at least I'm not worried about not being able to see it. Picard's show runner, Michael...

The Last, Best Babylon 5 podcast recently had an episode featuring Tom Booker, who played Jinxo in Grail. I don't think I've ever seen an interview with him about the show, so it was cool to hear from him and a fun listen. He has stories about David Warner, William Sanderson, Bill Mumy, Christy...

I enjoyed Picard, well at least until the last episode or so, when the plot was laid bare and turned out to be a bit naff. That and turning the Romulans into space elves. I also enjoy Discovery, despite as Ubik puts it, crap arc syndrome. I'm able to look past that and see the good stuff in...

Aren't DVD-Rs supposed to be more prone to DVD rot than the silvered normal DVDs? If that's true then it might be best to try and avoid them anyway. Or just keep fingers and everything else crossed for a blu-ray boxset (yes I'm still holding out for that - if the reboot goes into production...

Re: Jumped vs Pushed Wasn't the plan that Ivanova would have had to call in the Psi Cops? Lyta was supposed to just become an acolyte of Byron. It would have been interesting to see how Ivanova and Lyta's relationship would have changed after that – but my original point was that at least...

Re: Jumped vs Pushed I don't think I ever saw Lyta as becoming a villain per se (though in Wheel of Fire she started acting like one), more that her aims and goals became unaligned with those of Sheridan etc. Sheridan was friendly with her until Epiphanies, after which he (perhaps rightly)...

I say leave some grain in! I find that grain can help add texture to the picture, and avoids things like people's faces becoming too smooth and waxy looking, which I can see a little bit here (the Predator blu-ray was notorious for this). But I really do like how the colours really pop in this...

I think JMS has said that he hasn't watched DS9, for obvious reasons, I guess. Maybe he has seen some of Voyager, as he's friends with Jeri Taylor. I discovered recently that he wrote at least one StarTrek comic for DC. It's pretty good. I think he wrote it around the time he was writing The...

Discovery and Picard are intended to be in the same timeline as every other Star Trek series – but you're right, Paramount are planning on a fourth Star Trek Kelvin-verse movie at the same time as airing TV shows set in the Prime universe, so I suppose that sets a precedent. I mean, I'd love...

Indeed, which is why I referred to it as a rumour. I have to admit, I'm a little more sceptical about it going ahead now - would they want to do an animated series or movie based on the original series at the same time as the reboot? It could confuse some viewers.

Remember that the rumour was that there were two projects in the works – the reboot is obviously one, but there was also the animated project - if that goes ahead then that could be the perfect opportunity to tie up Lyta's story!

He doesn't have to be written the same way. On the face of it, an embittered, rogue Psi Cop trying to save his people sounds like an interesting character.

The last part1/part 2 film I saw was 'It', and Chapter 1 worked because it stood perfectly well on its own – if they'd never made Chapter 2, it wouldn't really have changed how much of a success Chapter 1 was. I'm not sure how they'll split Dune's story up, but I think if part 1 is made to stand...

I guess some of the actors could still play their characters? Claudia Christian could play an older General Ivanova, Bill Mumy could probably still play Lennier, and so on. Of course, they might want to play new characters rather than retread old ground.

I think I'm right in saying that scene of Clark being sworn in was shot on the 30th anniversary of the real event? Another of those Babylon 5 coincidences.

Yes, G'Kars eye sounds more likely, though even then it's hard to square the prophecy with what happened. How would saving G'Kar's eye spare Londo his fate? Maybe it means saving G'Kar, not just his eye. But G'Kar himself said he was in the right place for his people, and he survived all of what...

Fan of the books here, particularly the first four or five books - I feel there is a degree of diminishing returns with books 6-thru-8, but they're still entertaining and readable, and I'm looking forward to the final book being published next month. Leviathan Wakes is probably in my top ten sf...

I watched JMS's sync-up commentary for Signs and Portents today, and he said that Lady Morella's "You must save the eye that does not see" was referring to the Centauri Eye in this episode. I'm puzzled now, because Lady Morella said Londo had already wasted two chances and had three left, the...
